When Do I Need a Root Canal Removal?
A root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save an infected tooth, preventing the need for extraction. Infections in the nerve and pulp of the tooth is caused by the build-up of bacteria and can cause severe pain and lead to further complications, if left untreated.
If you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling or discolouration, it's crucial to have your dental cavities inspected for infection.
